War and Peace

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS


War and Peace

 

A soldier’s duty is survival

When he marches off to war

She is not to ask questions

What are we fighting for?

 

A soldier is but a pawn

She does what she is told

He is not to follow instincts

She is never to be bold

 

When a soldier becomes a hero

It is often to save face

The commander gave an order

The wrong time or place

 

All soldiers are courageous

Just to do what they must do

Just to be where they must be

Is an act of courage too

 

It is better to be raised in peace

Than to be praised in war
